Wikipedia (which ironically, early on, was warned against in schools as an unreliable source) is one of the last bastions of high quality information. But that quality is based on requiring citations to reliable sources, traditionally including "well-established news outlets". 1/

Can outlets that openly placate Trump by e.g. forfeiting winnable lawsuits remain reliable sources to Wikipedia? How reliable will Wikipedia remain if the sources from which its articles are constructed bend to curry favor and escape threats of the new administration? 2/

Partisans of all stripes edit Wikipedia tendentiously, but its reliability is sustained be editors removing poorly sourced information. Partisans of the fascist right may have new support from, say, the Washington Post or ABC or CBS as their practices bend to the new, um, business reality. /fin
